President William Ruto has named Kipchumba Murkomen as the new Interior Cabinet Secretary.
Murkomen will fill in the position left vacant following the elevation of Kithure Kindiki to the Office of the Deputy President following the impeachment of Rigathi Gachagua.
He was previously serving as the Sports Cabinet Secretary. In the new changes, Trade Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya has been re-assigned to the Sports Ministry to replace Murkomen.
The president has, in turn, nominated former Nakuru governor Lee Kinyanjui to take over the Ministry of Trade pending the vetting and approval by the National Assembly.
